I think I'll take a position as a part of the Weave, preferably Calan. My flagship? I have no idea, I'll get back to you on that.

A question, if there is a commander for each of the Weave nations, wouldn't that already make 4 players? It would take a lot for one faction to be represented by more than one player. But as for now, I'll be the whatever of Calan.

You can definately be Calan, but I don't really have a clue what a title for them would be. As for a flagship you can have a Weave ship if you dont want to use the crappy Calan Destroyer.

Here is how the Weave Faction fleets should be made up.
Brox: At least 50% faction specific ships
Hunn'sta: At least 30% faction specific ships.
Sauridians: At least 60% faction specific ships.
Calan: At least 30% Faction specific ships.

I am instituting this both to increase realism and to give the Weave a more equal technological footing with the Empire. Notice the races with already strong militaries have fleets made up more of their own ships... while the weaker races have been more reinforced by the Alliance.

With player registration as slow as it has been I doubt I will be having more than one player for each Weave Faction. If I do have multiple requests it will be first come first serve, and the rest will have to make due with the regular Weave.

I can access EVula.net - including your site - right now, and haven't had any difficulties accessing it in quite some time. Are you sure the problem isn't on your end?

Jager: No new ships.

------------------
General Rak - PowerBroker - (url="http://"mailto:power64@optonline.net")mailto:power64@optonline.net(/url)power64@optonline.net

This was already cleared because it wouldnt make sence for a small fighter to be as strong as a cruiser or a destroyer.. becides for this Vice Admiral Ipvicus cleared it on several condisions..
1)There is only one of these ships
2)it isn't super good
3)Because I was only using fighters and would be wiped out VERY fast.

so take it up with him. if he changes his mind I will take it out. but he has already aporved it

Rule 7: There will be no research of new ships or weapons in this webstory.

Is this webstory already falling apart at the seams?

I did not try to open it on the pc, and as for download accelerator, it has worked fine before. I've just tried inserting other cd-rw's into the mac, and it doesn't recognize any of them. I guess that's the problem. Memorex cd-rw's. This might be annoying since now i'll have to waste cd-r's transferring files between computers, and since I don't have any right now, it might be a while until I get a gist of the setting of this webstory. When I do get it, what thread in the game is the most fun/engrossing/cool to follow?

Hey Vice Admiral, will there be a page explaining the power and functions of the weapons equipped on the ships or is there already one?

As for my flagship, It will be a modified Weave Victory class Beam Cruiser, the Endurance

Stats are as follows:
Shield: 8000
Armor: 600 (+ 900) = 1500
Guns: 8
Turrets: 5
Space: 120
Fuel: 800
Speed: 225 (+ 125) = 350
Accel: 400 (+ 50) = 450
Mass: 725 tons
Crew: 712
Weapons:
3 Pulse Turrets
2 Torpedo Launchers & 20 Torpedoes
2 F-40W Stingray heavy fighters
1 High-Energy X-Ray Laser (+ 1 more)
(+ 4 Manta fighters)
(+ 2 Thermal Lasers)

Price originally 11.5 million, but I don't know what's a good setting for it.

As long as you've done the plug and explored most of it as well as have some recollection of the ships you can join.

------------------

Do what now? I dont even now what the plug is about... all I did was pull the ship graphics and join the webstory

Okay guys I was able to get access to an internet connection for a few minutes and I decided to clear some stuff up.

First off: I cleared Jager's personal fighter for several reasons. 1) In the words of Macavenger "We're not talking about a planet killing jugernaught here" it's just a fighter. 2) Jager will explain in the story that this is a custom built fighter made for his own personal use, if he had wanted he could just have made this an upgraded Interceptor or something. 3) This is only one ship, there will be no mass production of it.

Kyle: Your flagship looks fine to me, just make sure you include those four Manta's in the cost.

TheLonePenguin: You don't really need any experiance with the plug to join (though it would be nice) just go to the (url="http://"http://members.aol.com/matrekie/webstory.htm")Website(/url) and read up on the background story, ships, rules, and governments.

Sattomax: Sorry to hear that you won't play, we need all the players we can get, and I hope to make sure that this story dosn't end up like BFS III or EVW.
